Also, 46% of the men who were provided testosterone felt improvement in their health. On the other hand, only 17% of men from other group felt improved health.

These 2 groups were also provided the option of taking forward their treatment for more 52 weeks. Only 166 men decided to continue the treatment. After the completion of time, 70% men reported feeling better health.
